HESKETH HOUSE NEWSLETTER 27 JANUARY 2023
A note from the Head… In assembly this week we talked about Chinese New Year, which was celebrated by several of our families. The girls were very interested to hear about all the festivities and traditions; some were even given lucky red envelopes by their friends! You will have seen in the press that some teachers are expected to engage in industrial action over the coming weeks. Teachers at Bolton School are not paid in the same way and so are not part of this action, so we will be operating as normal. Finally, I would remind you to please contact the Hesketh House office first thing in the morning if you daughter will not be in school for any reason. General queries should also be directed to the office juniorgirls@boltonschool.org.uk or 01204 434761. Mrs C Laverick Year 6 Author Talk Wednesday 25 January Year 6 really enjoyed listening to author Polly HoYen talk about her book ‘How I Saved the World in a Week’. This is one of the nominated titles in the Bolton Children’s Fiction Awards, which Year 6 are helping to judge.
